My 2 cents.
Do police read these boards? Yes.
There are two kinds of cops. Good ones and assholes. Just like any other occupation, they are human also.
Are they targeting VM Members? Most likely the assholes are. They take everything personally and hold grudges. It is within their personality and likely has nothing to do with the fact that they are cops. The good ones just could not be bothered. They see things clearer and probably have some respect for what VM is trying to stand for.
Is this being blown way out of porportion? Yes.
Is is likely that a cop would make such a comment to a stranger? No, not a chance. I doubt the officer would assume that everyone in this city knows who VM is. Not only that, it would cost him his job if you reported him. Any such 'targeting' that is going on could never be drawn that narrow. Even if it was a 'asshole' cop that had a grudge, he wouldn't be that naive and tell someone who walked up to him such a bold statement. There could be serious ramifications for that. If this officer was doing radar he would be obligated to pull over any and all speeding, not just those of his choice.
